We have RKDimages ID (P350) and this would be useful too. Jane023 (talk) 08:52, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  WikiProject sum of all paintings has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead..

  •   Question @Jane023 How would you condider the applicable domain of the property? All your examples are reproduction of paintings in the Frick photoarchives. But I can see there are also numerous books/catalogs (those more like RKDlibrary ID (P4989)), as well as "artist files" from different sources, and potentially a number of different other media types. --Nono314 (talk) 17:13, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well I am only able to judge the accuracy of the paintings, and I poked around but I couldn't figure out how to get the artists out (so a RKDartists type of property isn't possible, but a search on "last, first" does give some nice alternate spellings). The catalog info seems a bit sparse, to be honest, but if you think it should be a more general domain, then that's fine. I didn't check extensively for objects like furniturer, decorative arts, or anthing else. I stumbled on this because I was working on the Barings/Northbrook provenance list.

Thanks for your answer. I just wanted to ask because the proposal didn't explicitly set the domain. As said below I'm perfectly fine with the paintings (or artworks, as there are also some sculptures).--Nono314 (talk) 16:13, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  Support especially for painting reproductions. They indeed provide useful research data for paintings outside main museums, even if caveats apply (just randomly picking a handful of them, I spotted outdated entries for decades, mismatched institutions and mangled text) --Nono314 (talk) 17:13, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
From what I have seen, I believe these are digitized entries of old auction sales that took place in New York City (also possibly paintings formerly on show in member museums). Jane023 (talk) 07:07, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
